Richardson's Restaurant on Church Street in Mathews County, VA is a destination, not the kind of place you happen upon. Happen upon it I did, however, and had tasty lunch, tastier and more upscale than I was expecting. It is located in this old drugstore.
I wondered about listing an emetic and a potion said to decrease sexual desire on the walls, but Richardsons was, after all, a drugstore.
The ceiling is punched tin and an old Coke cooler is stationed at the front door, just like the one I mentioned here.

Mathews County is located in the Middle Peninsula of VA, about an hour's drive from my house and light years away from here. Think Mayberry and you'll be close.
The lunch couner with the chrome-edged bar stools looks to be original. I had one of the most extraordinary Cobb salads ever, and I am picky about Cobb salad. I also ordered crab puppies, a crab cake in the shape of a hush puppy. It was an explosion of spicy, crabby goodness.
